Dart Adams presents 25 More Producers You Need To Hear Right Now (October 2009 Edition) Part Five

The first time I heard an Eric G track was the lead single "Callin' Me" off of Torae's "Daily Conversation" album. Next I heard the bangers "Think About It" and "Taylor Made". Eric crafted more heat for his Justus League affiliates Chaundon and Big Treal in the offing but his name has come back to the forefront after his notable contributions to Skyzoo's "The Salvation" ("Bottom Line" & "For What It's Worth"). I wondered who was managing him (it's not Big Dho) so I asked Torae & Skyzoo on Twitter. In either event, Eric has a bright future and he's clearly in good hands. Be on the lookout for him.

Why is Rob Bates' production company called "Giant Killer" do you wonder? That's because the young producer has already survived a bout with cancer and beat the odds then. He also beat the odds again when as a bystander in line he heard that they were short a competitor in the Red Bull Big Tune Chicago round last year and he said "I got beats" handed an organizer some headphones fired up his iPod and ended up onstage. Now Rob Bates is a sought after beatsmith with his foot in the door of the industry at large. Do your thing, mayne!

Chief is on the verge of unleashing his opus "Collabo Collection" on Hip Hop heads Stateside November 3rd so you all have a few weeks to familiarize yourself and prepare for it. Again...You're welcome.

Why is Beat Fanatic Jaisu on this list you may ask? (Why, I dunno) Here are 5 reasons: One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Any questions? I didn't think so. I must first warn those of you that haven't clicked the links yet that the sounds you are about to hear could be devastating to your ear and they may cause you to nod your heads furiously while making the scrunchface. Beat Fanatic wins again! S-Type I see you! Class dismissed!
